He chose to pursue medicine over engineering because of his fascination with the human body. “I was studying in class 9 and then later in the higher classes also I was amazed at the human body. It’s the perfect machine that God has engineered and I was curious to learn more about it.”
Offering advice to anyone who wants to crack the exam, he said, “The whole fifth year of the MBBS should be devoted to preparing for this exam. We have internships as well, but some students choose to start preparing after the internships get over which puts them at a disadvantage.” While he was interning, he would spend four to five hours a day, however before the exam he was studying as much as 12 hours a day. He didn’t have many hobbies apart from his course work and preparation, however he enjoyed going for walks to refresh his mind, even close to the exam.
